Allow selection of highlighted drop down item using Tab button

A_Ryan

A lot of people use the Tab button to navigate through form fields. For a drop-down field in Expensify, you are required to either use your mouse to select an item or hit Enter on a highlighted item in order to "Save" it to that field. You should be able to search for it by typing and then hit Tab when it's on the highlighted item you want rather than having to hit Enter to select it. Most drop-down fields work this way, so our users are getting frustrated when they think they've selected an item from the drop-down field and it disappears.
